Windows 10 countdown: Cortana – your personal digital assistant

Continuing our closer look at various aspects of Windows 10 ahead of the launch next week on July 29th, today we’re going to focus on Cortana, Microsoft’s personal digital assistant.

Juggling a plethora of subjects, lessons, tutorials, deadlines, and of course the all-important social life, can be a headache for students and teachers. Demands are constantly being made of your time, and if you’re not careful things can fall off the radar and you might find yourself struggling to keep on top of your work.

Cortana is Microsoft’s personal digital assistant, designed to help you quickly manage your life and easily get things done on your Windows 10 PC, tablet, and phone. The following video originally appeared on the Windows 10 blog, and shows some of the ways that Cortana can help you keep up with your day-to-day tasks.
